Sabine,
As a general rule of thumb, if a method is too long to see at a glance - in practice this means too long to fit on your screen - then it almost certainly needs splitting up. I have been forcibly reminded of this a lot recently due to having to decode insanely long Python routines; seriously - 1100 lines for a single function?
